Colorado Coffinmaker Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Actually "Robin Hood" as used in a B-17 Movie. The mug sat in the Officers Club and when a "Mission was On" the mug was turned to face the wall and the Bar was closed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 10 hours ago, Irish Pat said: think B-17 Toby, "mascot" for bomber pilots and crews in WWII. He lived in the bars and clubs of US and Brit pilots and crews, and when they turned his face toward the wall the bar was closed......"Drink up. Lights out in ten. Mission tomorrow"! My wife worked for an attorney who had been a bombardier on B-24s in Europe. He had "Toby", chipped, stained, and battle worn, on a shelf above his desk until he died. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Purportedly a refueling group if you search Army Air Corps 918 Bomb Group, you'll find info. My Uncle was career air force from Army Air Corps to USAF and SAC, and I think the insignia, at least part of it is similar to patches he gave me.
